What Kim Kardashian’s therapist said to her after desperate mom of four turned to professional help with parenting her out-of-control kids
Long after her sister Kourtney urged her to seek therapy, Kim Kardashian has finally been bitten by the therapy bug, she revealed on The Kardashians this week.
Kim comes home from a doctor’s visit for her injured fingers and finds Khloe there. Kim, 43, tells Khloe, 40, about her therapy session.
“She was like, ‘You think calm is your superpower. I think you’ve been desensitized by the trauma to the point where you’re literally frozen in fight or flight mode,'” Kim tells Khloe, who says, “I believe that.”
“Then she said, ‘There was one time in your life when something happened and you stayed calm, and it worked for you, so you’ll always choose calm.'”
Khloe asks, “You don’t think you committed a robbery? You weren’t calm before that,” referring to the 2016 heist in which thieves broke into her Paris hotel room and stole $10 million worth of jewelry.

“She was like, ‘You think calm is your superpower. I think you’ve been desensitized by the trauma to the point where you’re literally frozen in fight or flight mode,'” Kim tells Khloe, who says, “I believe that.”
That didn’t seem to occur to Kim, because she asked, “Really?”
Khloe says, “Don’t you remember? Kim, you were an idiot. If anyone touched your clothes, you’d say, ‘I would wear that today!’ You were all dressed up, like you calmed down.”
Kim says, “I should tell the therapist because she’s trying to go back to her childhood, and I think…” as Khloe says, “No, you were never calm as a teenager, in your 20s. You cried at everything, you were rude, you threw tantrums, everything stopped after you got robbed, because you stayed calm in that situation. You even said, my calmness is what kept me alive. That’s when it started. You don’t have to be a fucking detective to figure that out.”
Kim says in her confessional, “I mean, imagine having a gun to your head, being tied up, being dragged through a hotel room and this guy, I remember him saying to me, ‘Stay calm and you’ll live,’ and I did and it helped me at the time and I think it saved my life. But I think I let it get too calm, which allowed people to take advantage of my calmness or I just turned into a robot with no emotions.”
Kim then admits to Khloe, “But let me tell you something… Kourtney was right,” to which Khloe widens her eyes.
Kim explains: ‘I was just like, “Oh my God,” because she was like, “Why are you working so much? Why are you doing this?” and I was looking at her like, “Are you Kourtney?”
They flash back to a scene with Kim and Khloe and Kourtney where Kourtney tells her, “I don’t think you understand what makes you tick and if you don’t understand what makes you tick, you’re not the master of your mind. Knowing what makes you tick will lead you to your happiness and joy.”
Kim confesses: “I think we took Kourtney’s question, ‘Why do you do what you do?’ in a defensive way, but I think she was just saying you have to recognize that I’m walking away from dealing by staying busy.”
Khloe says, ‘Don’t you remember? Kim, you were an idiot. If anyone touched your clothes, you were like, “I would wear that today!” You were all dressed up, like you calmed down.’

Kim tells Khloe, “She also said she came to watch our show to do a little homework.” Khloe says, laughing, “That’s probably not a good idea.”
Kim tells Khloe, “She said we all need therapy, especially you.” They both laugh and Khloe says, “I have no doubt about that.”
Kim says, “I really think you should take this trip with me,” while Khloe says, “Oh no.”
Kim confesses, “I don’t want to be the next Kourtney, but I always have been. But after going to therapy, I thought maybe Khloe would appreciate having someone to help her through specific situations in life.”
